Description Leopold 2021-05-26 18:53:53 UTC 
Description:
in LibreOffice Writer, when opening the printer dialog while a text box is active (selected / focused for editing) the print preview only displays the text box contents, not any other text, with the exception of page numbers (as far as I have tested).

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open LibreOffice Writer
2. type inline text
3. create new text box
4. type text in text box
5. while text box is selected, open print dialog via menu or keyboard shortcut

Actual Results:
only text box content is displayed in preview and in print

Expected Results:
entire page contents are displayed in print preview and printed


Reproducible: Always

I confirm the behavior but I don't consider it a bug.
In dialog, Selection is marked, as it should, see bug 54908.
You can change to All Pages. 
I close. Please explain if you still consider it a bug.

ah, i see. while i consider it very non-intuitive and prone to user error as in my case, I concede that it works as intended. thank you timur
